We are the Advisors and Counselors at the Medical Education Campus with Northern Virginia Community College. We will attempt to answer your questions about the upcoming Spring 2021 Nursing admissions process.
All course work must be final by the program deadline of September 20, 2020. Course work that
Ends after the deadline of September 20, 2020, will not count
has not transferred AND posted to your NOVA account from an external school Including other VCCS schools, will not count.
For example, you submit your GMU transcript on September 20, 2020, and your transfer credit post-September 31, your applicants would have been rejected.
Common reasons applications don't make it past the initial review for eligibility
The student did not take a course listed as an entry requirement
The student took a course listed as an entry requirement but never transferred the credit to NOVA via the official transfer credit process.
The student had a C- or did not take a required high school level course
The student never provided their high school transcript with their application.
We are still waiting on the final word for the ATI TEAS exam. Check our website for an update on July 17.

If your high school was in a different country you will need a course by course evaluation by either www.ece.org or www.ierf.org.

not doing so will automatically flag your application and lead to a rejection

Is anyone on here planning on attending the nursing information session for the Traditional BSN program at Mason on November 12th? I signed up for it on their site. I am anxiously awaiting the decisions from Nova. Hope we all get a decision soon.

No, But I plan on trying to get into their dual enrollment RN-BSN program so I can earn both at the same time! But let me know how it goes!

I will let you know I'm attending just in case I am rejected from Nova's program. I have enough credits to transfer. If I am accepted to the program at Nova then I will be looking into the RN-BSN dual enrollment program as well.
Should I attend both maybe then? So that I can cover both options.
That’s probably not a bad idea, but fingers crossed we won’t need to! I’m hoping we’ll know NOVA’s decisions by the 5th and definitely by the 12th so we can decide which one(s) are worth it to attend. Do those webinars fill up? If so, it may be a good idea to sign up now to save your spot, then you can cancel later when decisions go out from NOVA!

Are the seminars required? Like let’s say for example we get into NOVA’s nursing program and we want to also do their co-enrollment program, is it necessary to attend the webinar?

That’s true I hope so too. I will take a look and see if I can reserve a spot for the RN-BSN Co-Enrollment information session. They may fill up quickly not sure. I’m sure there is a limit.

I don’t think so! I think it’s an opportunity to learn more and ask questions, even though there’s a lot of good info on their website. I’m happy to share my notes, if you (or anyone else!) is interested in the program but can’t attend the webinar.
Remember when Nova said we can expect decisions Mid October- late November? Well now they say 8 weeks after the deadline which would be November 20th. So late November ?
Just got my provisional acceptance email!! My anxiety had been through the roof thinking I wasn’t going to get in again. Congrats to everyone else who got in and cannot wait to meet everyone ?
